Developer Toylogic has some good news for people who want to play its free-to-play faction-based RPG game Happy Wars but don't want to pay Microsoft a monthly fee: they can now play the game without having to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.

The change is part of a brand new update being rolled out today. As Xbox Live's first (and only) free-to-play game, it was previously available only to those with a Gold level subscription. The update also adds a new game mode called Bounty Hunters, offers fixes to the Castle Defense mode, adjusts the item leveling system and changes the game's training mode into "Skirmish Mode."
